When it’s getting colder, I like to make soups that warm you up from inside out and keep you stuffed for quite a while. This vegan peanut and sweet potato soup is the perfect soup for autumnal days.
I use crunchy peanut butter but using smooth peanut butter won’t make it less tasty. However, make sure to use peanut butter without added sugar.
